Casa Carmín en Teotitlán

We had a lovely breakfast with the whole family. We loved hearing about all the different art forms they are involved in, and how they are working to maintain Zapotec language and culture. It was so beautiful to sit on the patio and watch the rain clouds roll in.

Es un tanto rebuscado el llegar pero vale la pena. Llegando Julisa y su familia te reciben de excelente manera. El taller de tejido es precioso y puedes conocer cómo llevan a cabo el proceso para elaborar un tapete y productos de cacao artesanal, lo recomiendo ampliamente.

The mototaxis drivers knew all about Casa Carmin, so it was very easy to get around town. The furniture and amenities were great. Spectacular views of both sunrises and sunsets from the private patio. The owners have created a wonderful atmosphere, and the staff were exceptionally pleasant. A perfect vacation from the rigors of nearby Oaxaca City.

La habitación además de amplia y muy limpia, transmitía una paz que nos permitió descansar cómodamente durante nuestra noche en ella. Teotitlán del Valle es un pueblo mágico lleno de artesanías y sobre todo textiles. El trato de nuestros amigables hosts fue insuperable y aprendimos mucho sobre el proceso de la elaboración de los famosos tapetes del lugar. ¡Pronto regresaremos!

L’accueil de l’hôte, Mireya, a été particulièrement chaleureux. Elle met tout en œuvre pour que le séjour soit agréable dès l’arrivée, dans une atmosphère conviviale et familiale.
Les repas cuisinés sur place (déjeuner et dîner), typiquement zapotèques, sont savoureux et constituent une vraie valeur ajoutée. La maison abrite également un atelier de tissage ainsi qu’une chocolaterie, avec visite guidée et explications détaillées sur les techniques artisanales (filage, teinture, tissage).
La chambre est spacieuse, bien équipée (eau chaude), lumineuse grâce à ses nombreuses fenêtres, et offre une vue remarquable sur la vallée et le village depuis le balcon.

Le village est paisible, sans nuisances sonores, ce qui garantit un repos optimal. Le marché local, très authentique et animé, reflète bien la culture mexicaine que l'on trouve dans les villages. On note une forte présence d’artisanat à proximité du marché.

L’église a été construite sur un ancien temple zapotèque, détruit à l’époque coloniale. Les Espagnols ont réutilisé les pierres sculptées des temples zapotèques pour sa construction. On observe encore des vestiges préhispaniques à proximité. Ce n'est pas qu'une église, c'est aussi un site archéologique.

Beautiful room and beautiful view of town. The family was very kind and gave me a warm welcome. It was very interesting to see their weaving workshop, chocolate making workshop, and pottery.

Que está cerca relativamente de Oaxaca de Juárez. Es fácil si tienes un auto, pero tendrás que tomar en cuenta que la carretera no está muy alubrada si regresas de noche. Pero como dije, la ubicación es relativamente buena.

Our stay with this wonderful family was unique and unforgettable. I can’t say enough about the friendliness and kindness of everyone here. It was incredible to stay in this working weaving and pottery-making and chocolate-making centre. It was personal and so very interesting — and everything they create there is top quality! The breakfasts were delicious and huge.. we had dinner there one night and it was also so fabulous! We bought two rugs and some pottery and some of Issa’s amazing chocolate. Meriya took us on a long hike up the nearby mountain and then came home and made us breakfast! Rey David delivered our rugs to our new place in Oaxaca, and Issa went out of her way after we left to find some earrings that I wanted to buy.
Oh!!! And the terrace had an unbeatable view!!!!
What an experience! Loved it here. Loved the family and everyone there.

David did an amazing job teaching natural dyes, I learned a lot and had a great time. I felt welcomed into the family. I was invited to join going to the market with Fani and loved that. Lulu was such a lovely house mom. I couldn’t have loved my time there more.

Location. The family. The experience to see how carpets of the region are made. This is an active weaving workshop during the day. Weavers are weavingand visitors are visiting.

Beautiful setting and charming room with private bath.

I really liked the hosts. They were paitent with my poor Spanish skills and they loved to laugh!

Our stay with Rey David and his family was truly magical. The room and facilities were super cozy and the view from the terrace was spectacular. The family offered meals which were incredibly yummy. Their workshop and products are absolutely gorgeous. And the family was the best part of our time there -- my husband's birthday was during our stay and they surprised us with a birthday lunch and celebration. Our stay truly made memories of a lifetime.

The Huella Carmín family takes a lot of pride in sharing their home, their customs, and their culture with visitors. We were fortunate to be invited to participate in a tour of the rug workshop and learn all about the entrepreneurial projects that the family is working on. Being that we stayed here during Day of the Dead, this lovely and warm family also invited us to share in their spiritual rituals and traditions, including a typical (and delicious) Zapoteco breakfast and lunch, traditional dances, games, and prayers, and a visit to the cemetery.

Great breakfast, great location
